Inverting Reality: The Optics of Trump’s “Peace” Plan. A Powerful Message From Palestine

Posted by: John Phoenix Restoration is not symbolic. It is material, legal, and historical. Justice is the return of what Israel, the colonizer and occupier, took. Global Research, Introduction: Fractured Optics and the Need for Clarity The ceasefire and prisoner exchange have burst onto our screens in a confusing array of images and clashing narrative frames, with commentators interpreting events differently depending on their geographic and political vantage points. This essay analyzes the visual and rhetorical strategies surrounding the October 2025 prisoner exchange between Palestinian resistance factions and Israel, Donald Trump’s speech to the Israeli Knesset, and the summit in Sharm al-Shaikh. It expos...

Crime and Criminality in International Relations

Posted by: John Phoenix Global Research, One way or another, criminal behavior and the abuse of the issue of criminality have been permanent and integral elements of the foreign policies of the Western ruling elites for centuries. On the one hand, their governments have committed terrible crimes against the peoples of the majority world, and on the other, they have taken advantage of their violent world domination to denounce as criminals or terrorists political movements and governments that have resisted them. We see yet another example of this behavior now in the US military and diplomatic aggression against Venezuela and Colombia. The emphatic rupture of relations between the government of Colombia and the U.S. government marks a moment with consequences difficult to...

They Tell Us to Fear Muslims While the US Empire Terrorizes the World

Caitlin Johnstone  The other day I published an essay titled “Zionists Push Islamophobia Because It’s Easier Than Getting People To Like Israel,” based on the conspicuous overlap between virulent Israel supporters and people who promote hatred of Muslims. https://youtu.be/Iq1DoI_0-AE What I didn’t know at the time until readers alerted me was that Drop Site News had put out an article last month about a leaked polling report commissioned by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs which actually found that promoting Islamophobia is the most effective way of combatting the way worldwide public opinion has been turning against Israel. “Israel’s best tactic to combat this, according to the study, is to foment fear of ‘Radical Islam’ and ‘Jihadism,’ which remain hig...

Remembering Beirut: The Marine Barracks Bombing and the Lessons of Foreign Policy Restraint

Posted by: John Phoenix How a 1983 bombing exposed the perils of empire... 42 years ago yesterday, on October 23, 1983, the early morning quiet at Beirut International Airport shattered when a Mercedes truck carrying 12,000 pounds of TNT crashed through flimsy barriers and detonated inside a U.S. Marine Corps barracks. The explosion killed 241 American service members, including 220 Marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers, making it the deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima in World War II. Almost simultaneously, another suicide bomber struck French forces two miles away, leaving 58 paratroopers dead. The twin attacks temporarily altered American perceptions about Middle Eastern intervention, though the lessons learned that day have proven frustratingly imp...

Cracks in the Unholy Alliance: Christian Zionism, Israeli Supremacy, and the Collapse of Strategic Containment

Posted by: John Phoenix What October 7 Exposed — and Why the Center Cannot Hold By Rima Najjar Global Research, Author’s Note: The alliance is cracking. Christian Zionism, Israeli supremacy, and U.S. strategic containment of Palestine have long masked and juggled their contradictions. October 7 exposed the scaffolding — and made the contradictions impossible to ignore. This essay names them. *** Introduction: The Fracture and the Alliance The alliance between Israel and the American right is fracturing. According to Tikvah Ideas — a Jewish conservative pro-Israel think tank — antisemitic tropes are re-emerging within the very coalition that has long defended Israeli supremacy and militarism. These are not fringe provocations. The...

Nazi’s Assault on the Nervous System of Palestine: Weaponizing Empathy, Grief and Trust to Engineer Collapse

Posted by: John Phoenix Global Research, Author’s Note: Israel’s war in Gaza is an assault on the nervous system itself. This essay documents how Israel weaponizes fundamental human reflexes — empathy, grief, trust, the instinct to survive — to engineer Palestinian societal collapse. It does so by dismantling perception, using cloned voices, fraudulent maps, and mimicked care to bait, betray, and sabotage. Palestinians are resisting through a collective project: to protect empathy, to sanctify grief, and to safeguard identity against Israel’s systematic assault targeting the very bedrock of human connection. *** Israel’s Neurotoxin: A War on Reflex, Grief and Trust It is almost impossible to comprehend what Israel has done and continues to do in G...

Tucker Carlson and the Resurrection of the 9/11 Truth Movement? Part II

Ron Unz  EPub Format Last week I published an article on the release of Tucker Carlson’s new 9/11 series, suggesting that it had the potential to resurrect the now dormant 9/11 Truth movement. Each year, those momentous events of 2001 had received less and less discussion. On the recent twenty-fourth anniversary, they passed almost totally unnoticed, completely swept aside by a massive wave of public attention given to the assassination of youthful conservative leader Charlie Kirk one day earlier on September 10th. Carlson had been a close friend of Kirk’s so he naturally delayed the release of his new series until later in the month, but I found it was well worth the wait when it finally appeared. The many, many millions of views both the elements of the ser...

The World Confronts the Genocide Washington is Trying to Bury

Posted by: John Phoenix Image by Mohammed Ibrahim. On October 4th, 2025, in an interview with Axios, President Trump stressed that one of the main goals behind his Gaza plan was to restore Israel’s international standing. “Bibi took it very far and Israel lost a lot of support in the world,” Trump said. “Now I am gonna get all that support back.” Under Trump’s plan, a supposed ceasefire took effect on October 10th. But Israel only withdrew from less than half of the Gaza strip, and killed at least 93 people in the next two weeks, after killing at least that many per day for the previous two years. Israel has only allowed 15% of the humanitarian aid called for in the plan to enter Gaza, and has kept the critical Rafah crossing from Egypt into Gaza...

الملك الأردني: لن نرسل قوات إلى غزة… وحماس بحاجة لتسليم السلاح قبل أي تدخل دولي

Posted by: John Phoenix Zionist puppet of Jordan صرّح العاهل الأردني الملك عبد الله الثاني، في مقابلة مع بي بي سي، يوم الاثنين، بأن الأردن لن يرسل قوات إلى غزة، مشيرًا إلى أن بلاده “قريبة سياسيًا للغاية” مم يحدث هناك. وأوضح الملك أن مهمة أي قوات دولية داخل غزة ينبغي أن تكون حفظ السلام ودعم الشرطة الفلسطينية المحلية، وليس فرض السلام بالقوة، مؤكدًا أن أي دور عسكري مسلح سيكون محفوفًا بالمخاطر ولن ترغب أي دولة في التورط فيه. وجاءت تصريحاته في سياق خطة السلام الأمريكية التي وضعها الرئيس دونالد ترامب، والتي تشمل عشرين بندًا، من بينها إنشاء قوات استقرار عربية ودولية لتدريب ودعم الشرطة الفلسطينية في غزة، بالإضافة إلى تسليم حماس لسلاحها والتخلي عن السيطرة السياسية على القطاع. وعند سؤاله عن مدى ثقته بقدرة حماس على الالتزام بهذه البنود، أجاب الملك: “لا أعرفهم شخصيًا، لكن قطر ومصر،...
